Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption — could happen in the next decade according to cybersecurity experts. That means everything could become vulnerable, for everyone. @WIRED has the story. #Cybersecurity #QDay #Tech #Technology #DataPrivacy https://flip.it/stmSHG
@SpaceLifeForm @TechDesk @WIRED Sorry but ECC is not safe from quantum attacks, either. We need to switch all public key cryptography to new quantum resistant algorithms, ML-DSA (formerly known as dilithium), and ML-KEM (fka CRYSTALS-KYBER).
True. But I prefer ECC over RSA at this time, in the hope that it buys us more time.
Keyspace vs attack complexity.
RSA has diminishing returns because there are fewer primes as one expands key size.
It just not make sense to continue using RSA these days when ECC has better performance, and better security per bit.
